ZAMBIA AT A GLANCE The peaceful and democratic country of Zambia has for many years enjoyed both social and political stability as well as a healthy macroeconomic environment, with economic growth averaging 6 percent per annum since 2003. Backed by rich natural resources such as copper and cobalt, the minerals sector has for many years been at the forefront of Zambia s expanding economy. Another prominent sector of the Zambian economy is agriculture, thanks to the country s good soil and large tracts of fertile arable land. There is also an abundant hydropower resource to be found in the numerous lakes, dams and rivers. Efforts to further diversify the economy mean that increased attention is being given to the manufacturing sector for increased value addition to mineral and agro products and the tourism sector on the backdrop of abundant wildlife, numerous waterfalls and scenic beauty having great potential for further development.
